This destruction is happening so that new life can emerge and your soul can evolve in a powerful way.įollowing a Tower experience, you can rest assured that you will grow stronger, wiser and more resilient as you begin to develop a completely new perspective on life that you did not even know existed.

Change on this deep level is challenging, but you need to trust that life is happening FOR you, not TO you and this is all for a reason. And let’s be real – with a card like the Tower, you have no choice but to surrender to the destruction and chaos, even if it is unwanted or painful. The best way forward is to let this structure self-destruct so that you can re-build and re-focus. But over time, you will come to see that your original beliefs were built on a false understanding, and your new belief systems are more representative of reality. This can be very confusing and disorienting, especially when your core belief systems are challenged. You are now questioning what is real and what is not what you can rely upon and what you cannot. Everything you thought to be true has been turned up on its head. Your world may come crashing down before you, in ways that you could never have imagined as you start to realise that you have been building your life on unstable foundations – false assumptions, mistruths, illusions, blatant lies, and so on. A lightning bolt of clarity and insight cuts through the lies and illusions that you have been telling yourself and now the truth is revealed. Just when you think you’re safe and comfortable, a Tower moment hits and throws you for a loop. It’s here to tear things up, create chaos and destroy everything in its path (but trust me, it’s for your Highest Good). It may be a divorce, death of a loved one, financial failure, health problems, natural disaster, job loss or any event that shakes you to your core, affecting you spiritually, mentally and physically.

When the Tower card appears in a Tarot reading, expect the unexpected – massive change, upheaval, destruction and chaos.

NOTE: The Tarot card meaning description is based on the Rider Waite cards. Around them are 22 flames, representing the 12 signs of the zodiac and 10 points of the Tree of Life, suggesting that even in times of disaster, there is always divine intervention. The people are desperate to escape from the burning building, not knowing what awaits them as they fall. It enters via the top of the building and knocks off the crown, symbolising energy flowing down from the Universe, through the crown chakra. The lightning represents a sudden surge of energy and insight that leads to a break-through or revelation. It represents ambitions and goals that have been built on false premises. The Tower itself is a solid structure, but because it has been built on shaky foundations, it only takes one bolt of lightning to bring it down. Lightning strikes, setting the building alight, and two people leap from the windows, head first and arms outstretched. The Tower shows a tall tower perched on the top of a rocky mountain.
